Classy and Simple Short Hairstyles for Women over 50

Classy and Simple Short Hairstyles for Women over 50

As we are getting older, we review our style in clothes and hair ‘dos which is quite normal, since looking the same for decades is rather boring, dated and unstylish. A woman doesn’t stop being a woman with age. Changing looks and experimenting with styles is in her nature. However, with years we strive for more comfort, and short hair is a good base for low-maintenance hairstyles which look stylish and aren’t perceived as “old woman’s helmet-like ‘dos”. Here are 90 great images with short hair.

Recommendations on Short Hairstyles for Women Over 50

Do you need to stick to any specific rules when choosing hairstyles if you are older than 50? Only partly. Generally to look stately and elegant, it’s recommended to comb your locks back, opening your face. Excessively shaggy hairstyles may appear sloppy and awkward. Bangs are ok, they make you look younger, but try to keep them neat and thin or styled to one side so that your forehead is not completely covered. Consider lighter hair hues, and you will easily take years off your face. Some older women look extremely flattering with silver hair. If you are not the lucky one, think of brown to blonde solutions or highlights.

Other than that, you may stick to general recommendations on the choice of hairstyles, i.e bear in mind your face shape and hair texture. Fine hair looks cuter when cut short and layered, while thick coarse tresses feel better in elongated cuts. They don’t have to be long. Lisa Rinna’s type of short-to-medium hairstyle is a very good option for thick hair.

Classy and Simple Short Hairstyles for Older Women

Below there are the brightest examples of short hairstyles for older ladies you can come across in Internet.

Youthful Pixie Haircut

Too often, women keep their hair long even though the length may not be flattering. If your stylist recommends going for a chop, don’t panic. A right pixie cut can not only give a younger appearance, but it will save hours of styling time in some cases.

Voluminous Gray Pixie Cut

In your senior years, embrace the beauty of silvery strands. It’s a beautiful hue that millennials often turn to themselves. To add even more drama, be sure to tease those cute feathered layers.

Angled Ash Blonde Cut

Older women sometimes experience softness in the face as they age. An angled cut adds sharpness to the curved edges and draws attention to the narrowness of a pointed chin.

Layered Platinum Bob

Hairstyles for older women can use graying hair to their advantage. If you go for a platinum hairstyle, the color perfectly masks any pesky grey, so that you don’t have to worry about constant touch ups. Pump up the volume with a few piecey layers. It creates movement, and you can fully enjoy rocking your beautiful feathered hair.

Best Winter Hairstyles Perfect for Even the Coldest Days

Best Winter Hairstyles Perfect for Even the Coldest Days

Summer is officially over. Now that temperatures have dropped, we're ready to start thinking about all the fun winter activities we have to look forward to: snow days, holiday parties, peppermint everything, TV show premieres, and so much more! But winter can also bring some seriously harsh weather. We all know about braving the elements with heavy coats and cozy socks, but you also need a chic winter hairstyle that can stay looking great through it all, no matter how grey and dreary the weather.

We're taking inspiration from some of our favorite celebrities, ranging from beautiful updos and beach waves to headbands and glitter looks that are easy to recreate at home. Good to know: You may need a curling iron, hair dryer, or flat iron to achieve some of the below looks. And if you're not quite ready to think about winter, check out fall hairstyle trends. Start planning your hair look for the holidays and every other day with these trendy winter hairstyles:

Tousled Bob

Just in time for season 4 of This is Us, loosen up your locks and channel Mandy Moore's wavy bob. Use a 1" curling wand to get a uniform curl pattern, then once the style has cooled off, run your fingers through your hair to get this relaxed look.

Elegant Top Knot

Gabrielle Union knows that end-of-the-year parties are all about the glitz and glam — after all, it's time to celebrate! A chic top knot is a great hairdo when you don't have a ton of time to curl or straighten your tresses.

Long, Glossy Locks

No, you don't need to splurge on a professional blowout to replicate Jessica Alba's glamorous curls. All you need is a steady hand and a large round brush, a hair dryer brush or a 2" curling iron.

The 2019 Winter Hair Trends You Need To Try Before The Year Ends

The 2019 Winter Hair Trends You Need To Try Before The Year Ends

If summer hair is defined by sun-streaked highlights, shine, and mermaid-y strands—the epitome of strength and health—then winter tresses can feel like the complete opposite: dull and drab. It’s hard to imagine anything else when the weather outside looks as dreary as you feel. But Dominick Serna, hairstylist at Chris McMillian Salon and Unite ambassador, says there are ways to remedy—if not outright prevent—the damaging effects of moisture-zapping weather.

The easiest solution is to swap out your regular shampoo and conditioner for ones formulated with super hydrating, deep-conditioning ingredients (shea butter, vitamin E, and argan oil are a few examples). Or, if anything, Serna recommends shampooing less to encourage producing natural oils. Above all, the most prominent way to freshen up tired strands is to adopt one of the below buzziest cuts of winter.

The Shag

A lot of people who have been wearing very simple styles are bored with their one-length bob. They’re looking for a change; they want more layers, something funky, something edgy—which is the shag,” Serna says. “A shag has tons of short layers at the crown and sides, which creates a lot of volume.”

But, to modernize the popular ‘90s style, Serna says to avoid blow-drying it unless you have straight hair. Instead, use curl creams (his favorites are this curl leave-in and styling cream) for a cooler, more piecey look. “The cool thing about shags with curly hair is that it gives a lot of volume—you can wake up and go,” Serna says.

Mid-length With Soft Layers

Most people cut their hair off during the summer. By winter, it’s usually grown into a mid-length long bob and at that point, you’ll want to add shape to it,” he says. “Cutting soft layers into it will give it shape and some life, so it doesn’t look so blah. Keeping the ends blunt can feel heavy, so I like the ends to be softer and give the look face-framing layers to open it up.”

Soft Blunt Bob

Similar to the softly layered mid-length style, a soft blunt bob takes out the heaviness from a super-sharp line, which can be achieved by cutting into it (when you snip vertically versus straight across). “And it will grow out nice and not into a heavy, bulky hair cut,” Serna says.

Long Hair With Bangs

Long hair with bangs is flattering because bangs are flattering. Anyone can wear long hair, but it can drag a face down, but bangs are always fresh and fabulous as long as you can maintain them. From blunt bangs to side-swept bangs, they're an excellent way to add maturity to your look without going too serious. Keep in mind the maintenance, though. Many salons offer free bang trims, but if you can't be bothered to travel every few weeks to see your stylist, you can just learn how to trim your own bangs. Make sure you get the right scissors.

Long Hair, Side-Swept Bangs

No matter your age, you can get away with long hair—as long as it's in good condition. Avoid overdoing it on the chemical treatments, and pay attention to products and heat that might damage your hair. It's easier to maintain healthy hair than it is to try and restore damaged hair.

If blunt bangs aren't your style, you'll find that long, side-swept bangs are extremely flattering and stylish when paired with long, straight hair.

The Shag Hairstyle

A shoulder-length cut that looks just a bit whispy is fabulous. Shags are super popular, because they look casual and unfussy but can be blow-dried into something a little more sophisticated. With the right cut, the shag can be air dried to perfection. Just a few spritzes of a sea salt spray (or Amika's No Salt Spray, $25,) a few scrunches with your hands, and you're on with your day.

Gorgeous Color

While you may have played with funky hair color in your 20s, you might feel like that time in your life is over and you want to stick with something more subdued. You can color your hair any way you like still, though you might want to be more careful and choose one that flatters your skin tone.
